*Reconstituted; original source: " Text of Rio de Janeiro shooting letter," The Associated Press, April 7, 2011. On April 7, 2011, a former student of the Tasso da Silveira Municipal School in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, shot to death 12 students including himself inside a school building. The poem above is derived from the first part of the "murder-suicide" note (acknowledgment to J. Ardema for the term) that he left behind.
